In a Superhuman Society

by Stonecreek

A world with quirks means its people are wind up rather quirky. Whether heroes, villains, or somewhere in-between, every BnHA character deserves to have their story told. These are but tiny 100-word snippets of their lives, told one a day, every day, in 2023. Newest chapter: Mina Ashido is a vivacious hero in training. She's equally enthusiastic about her classmates' love lives.

A.N. — Two questions for you readers today: should I consider groups (like the Reservoir Dogs or the Creature Rejection Clan) as one character for the purposes of these drabbles? Also, I've also got a half-dozen or so ideas for other BnHA stories, but my track record at completing multi-chapter, non-drabble, works is spotty at best. Does anyone want to hear about those?

If anyone ever bothered to ask Tommy why he had became a villain, he just gestured upwards.

From head down to mid-chest, he was a steam engine. And not just any ol' train — he was easily recognizable as some derivative of a beloved British children's series. The problem was, nobody ever let him forget it. With his unusual, striking appearance, he could've been a marketable hero beloved by young and old. Instead, Tommy turned to trigger use to escape all the jeers directed his way. His quirk let him outrun many things, but he could never escape the disparaging comments.
